Detailed explanation-3: -Paine encourages the colonists to value victory and its consequent freedom because “the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph”-“what we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly, ” he notes, and “ it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.” Crisis No.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paine relentlessly insisted that British rule was responsible for nearly every problem in colonial society and that the 1770s crisis could only be resolved by colonial independence.
